Liverpool team news: Double injury boost for Jurgen Klopp as star duo included in provisional squad

Liverpool take on West Ham next in the Premier League needing a victory to move back ahead of Manchester City.

City beat Leicester City on Saturday to overtake Liverpool and move into third-place.

The Reds would move back into third-place with a victory at the London stadium on Sunday.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was sweating over Roberto Firmino and Lucas Leiva’s availability with muscle injuries.

Both players have been included in the Reds provisional squad set to make the trip to London.

Germany international of Turkish origin Emre Can has also made the squad and is likely to keep his place in the starting lineup.

With Jordan Henderson out injured Can is almost certain to start in a three-man midfield with Gini Wijnaldum.

Lucas is likely to also be included in midfield if he is ready, Adam Lallana could replace the Brazilian if he does not recover in time.
